4. the angel —the uncreated Angel of the Covenant, as God the Son appears in the Old Testament ( Malachi 3:1 ). made supplication — Malachi 3:1- : : "I will not let thee go, except thou bless me." he found him —The angel found Jacob, when he was fleeing from Esau into Syria: the Lord appearing to him "in Beth-el" ( Genesis 28:11-19 ; Genesis 35:1 ). What a sad contrast, that in this same Beth-el now Israel worships the golden calves! there he spake with us —"with us, " as being in the loins of our progenitor Jacob (compare Psalms 66:6 , "They . . . we; " Hebrews 7:9 ; Hebrews 7:10 ). What God there spoke to Jacob appertains to us. God's promises to him belong to all his posterity who follow in the steps of his prayerful faith. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-5" class="com-number"
